Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite things to cook. It is so versatile; you can roast it, slow cook it- the options are endless. For this recipe, I used my “go-to” marinade mixture but it was the first time I used it with the mushrooms, carrots and onions. It was absolutely delicious and tastes…

I can’t say “never” but this version tastes amazing. What has stayed the same for both recipes is that roasting the ingredients beforehand makes all the difference. This…
